Checkout this short video, provides basically zero detailed info, but fun none the less:

This one is an interview with Chris Ramsey, who's running the race in the Leaf:

There's a twitter feed too, if you want to follow their progress:

I hate to be a pessimist but they ain't gonna finish. The numbers just don't work out. 10,000 miles going 100 miles at a time and then stopping for 3-4 hours to charge back up. Even if there were QCs the entire way they wouldn't make it.
 
Yeah, I would think they couldn't have shaved more than a few hundreds pounds of weight, so the range might be 10% further than stock at best.

That's part of the fun though, to see how far they make it.
